5 things is too limiting
1. Does anyone here watch Devious Maids or am I all alone in that one? I binged on the entire second season over the weekend, and realized I didn't have anyone to talk about it with. They did a Rebecca plot and everything this season. The cliffhanger just was not OK, though.
2. I'm watching season 2 of Orphan Black and very,very over the reproductive focus in this season, which I understand only gets worse as the season continues. The season as a whole, in what I've seen...well, I still like it, but its very much one of those shows that gets success and then becomes to conscious of the fact that people are paying attention to what they're doing and performs to that, instead of just doing its thing.
3. In addition to kdramas and anime (and some cdramas...pretty much most of what Crunchyroll and dramafever have for non-premium accounts) Hulu now has some subtitled telenovelas. They've had non-subbed ones for quite a while, but the only one with English subs that I'd found before was the first season of Gran Hotel, which I've already watched. (Netflix and Hulu actually both have season 2 of Gran Hotel now, I just haven't made it to it yet.) Now added to my neverending queue are a 1990s Zorro series, Aguila Roja/Red Eagle a current Zorro-like series set in Spain in the early 17th century, and Isabel a period romance from the 90s. Because, I mean, I'm going to catch up with everything someday...
4. I can never decide if the Fall daylight savings change is great or awful. (The Spring one is evil. That's all there is to it.)
5. I am reading the latest October Daye and will no doubt have plenty to say about once I've finished, but I do want to say something about something that happened midway through the book.
Not the Huge Reveal, but I was actually a bit disappointed that Tybalt and Quentin didn't die when they all dropped in the ocean. I mean, I'm very fond of both characters (very fond) but randomly killing off your two main male characters halfway through book whatever of a series isn't exactly normally down. Female characters, yes, but not, Sexy Moderately Inappropriate Love Interest and Adorable Secret Prince Sidekick. I just think the fallout would have been interesting? But then, we already had Toby in a borderline-suicidal spiral in the first couple books, and we don't really need a return to that. (Also admittedly not pleasant to think about what it would have done to Raj.)
6. I had only vaguely heard of Lena Dunham before everyone started hating her book, and now I'm tripping over everyone hating her book and her responses to criticism of it and her because of it.
7. Flight Rising's vault feature is my new favorite thing. I'm squirreling away every single treasure chest I can (from leafy packs to festival chests) except for gilded and iron chests (because they might have familiars I don't have yet) to open at Christmas. Possibly even including the festival chests I've managed to restrain myself from opening.
